Ten by Ten got off to a cracking start in January. We had a full house from eight and a fantastic array of talent on stage and February looks like being just as good.

So far we have:

The amazing singer songwriter Becky Owen who is putting away her piano and letting us see her poetic side. Making a rare but welcome visit to Tyneside is James McKay.

Hot footing it back from Beirut will be Peter Mortimer who will be performing a duet with Kitty Fitzgerald.

Slam star and ranter extraordinaire Steve Urwin is coming along, as is the wonderful Sheree Mack.
